From the Fermin family comes this exceptional, thinly-sliced Iberico ham. In the dehesas, an indigenous forest of southwestern Spain, the Iberico pig, a descendent of the wild boar, still wanders free. Popularly known as the Pata Negra or Black Hoof, the Iberico roots for wild herbs, fallen acorns, and edible roots. The resulting meat is swirled with high levels of flavorful natural fats, for which this pig has gained notoriety. Savor this exquisite product with a fine red wine, good Manchego or Zamorano, and artisan bread.

Fermín USA is a joint venture between The Rogers Collection, Chef José Andrés, and the Martín family of Embutidos Fermín. Embutidos Fermín is a small, family-owned firm based in Las Bautecas-Sierra de Franca in Salamanca (Castile-Leon), Spain. Since 1959, when patriarch Fermín Martín founded the company, the Martín family has been raising and slaughtering pigs to produce the highest quality jamones (hams) and embutidos (cured meats).

Short of purchasing a whole leg and slicing it yourself (too rich for us) this is about as good as it gets. It is easier to separate slices whilst still cold, then let meat come to room temperature. Very flavorful and melts in your mouth

Sadly, probably not worth the cost

Although the taste of the meat was okay, it was impossible to separate out the slices even after bringing the meat to room temperature. This making any presentation of the meat impossible, was just a shredded mess. Guess I have to wait until I get back to Spain. ;-/

closest you can come in this country

Wishing we could still be in the "hoof on" countries but this will have to do. Far better than any American attempt. Complex, depth and simply delicious flavor.

90% Fat!! Very Disappointed!

I am familiar with this high quality jamon having traveled Spain frequently and knowing the differences between levels of quality. At $15.99 per 2 ounces and this being 90% fat I do not recommend this. Very unfortunate. I was looking forward to high end high quality jamon.

best ham hands down

Jamon Iberico isn't just one of the best foods on the planet, it may be the best. Makes the finest Italian prosciutto pale in comparison. Try it an prepare to be hooked.
